Selfishness

We can also approach

the importance of compassion 

through intelligent reasoning.

If I help another person, 

and show concerns for

him or her, 

then I myself

will benefit from that.

However, if I harm others,

eventually I will be in trouble.

I often joke, half sincerely

and half seriously, saying

that if we wish to be truly selfish, 

then we should be wisely selfish

rather than foolishly selfish.

Our Intelligence can help

to adjust our attitude in this

respect. If we use it well,

we can gain insights as to

how we can fulfill our own

self-interest by leading a 

compassionate way of life.

H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama

Quote: Humanity

" In our quest for happiness and the avoidance of suffering, we are all fundamentally the same, and therefore equal. Despite all the characteristics that differentiate us - race, language, religion, gender, wealth and many others - we are all equal in terms of our basic humanity." - Dalai Lama

Quote: Listen

Quote :

" As a human being I acknowledge that my well-being depends on others and caring for others' well-being is a moral responsibility I take seriously. It's unrealistic to think that the future of humanity can be achieved on the basis of prayer or good wishes alone; what we need is to take action. Therefore, my first commitment is to contribute to human happiness the best I can." - Dalai Lama

Quote: Dalai Lama

“We need to understand the inadequacy of an educational system so slanted towards material values. The solution is not to give an occasional lecture, but to integrate ethics into the educational curriculum. To do this effectively requires a secular ethics, free of religious influence, based on common sense, a realistic view and scientific findings.”
